Health Benefits Of Green Tea
1. Lower Blood Pressure: Some researchers claim that the long-term intake of green coffee has a significant impact on the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. [1]
2. Alzheimer’s Disease: The neuroprotective activities of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) – the catechin polyphenol in green tea – have been shown to provide a potential strategy to manage neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. [2]
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis: A study in the Journal of Arthritis and Rheumatology suggests that green tea eases the symptoms associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) [3]
4. Promote Oral Health: Green tea contains catechins (natural antioxidants) that help reduce bad breath, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth, and improve general oral health. [4][5][6]
5. Improve Digestion: Sitting down to a cup of green tea helps improve your digestion. It’s believed that polyphenol in the beverage help break down the food while EGCG reduces gastrointestinal inflammation.
6. Help with Obesity: According to a study in the American Journal of Physiology, green tea is helpful against obesity by increasing the metabolic rate and promoting fat burning. [7]
